The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 279: Death is waiting, are you sure?

Silence.

Sigrid’s question was unexpected and it made them rethink their strategy. For the first time, Badric tucked his

tail in and held his tongue. The De-Kensington brothers did not dare to say anything.

The small gap between them and the princess felt too small. The air was ripe with tension, even those that were

looking on from the side lines could sense it. Phones were popular in Eldoria but there supply was not equal to

the demand.

Those without phones could only watch in envy as the ones with phones shared the encounter with other people.

"That's right. That's what | thought." Sigrid said softly but with steel in her voice.

She expected to hear no response from them and she was about to stand when an older woman pushed her way

through the boys. She walked with a cane that always moved ahead of her.

"If my daughter is truly ill then | would like to see her. Surely there is no harm in letting a mother and her

daughter have a re-union at the most scary tof her life." She raised her hands that were leaning on the cane.

"As you can see, | am already old and | suspect that my death is not far off. Even if | am infected with whatever

you claim Maurelia has, | don’t mind. Death does not scareanymore."

The De-Kensington brothers stood up straighter. They were like children that had been losing a fight and their big

scary mommy had cto their rescue. There was even a hint of a smirk on Badric’s face. To his thinking, even

the king had to give his parents slee way. Who was the crown princess in comparison to the king?

"See, | don't like what you said Lady Florentine." Sigrid shook her head. "The use of the word claim means that |

am asserting that the queen is ill without having proof to back up my words. | refuse to be engaged in a

conversation where | am accused of being a liar.

In case you all need a reminder, the king himself and his doctors decided that the queen was ill and she needed

to be isolated. It was not | that made this choice so take your doubts to the king, not me.

Lastly, queen Maurelia’s illness was confirmed by the Lord mage. The king was so desperate to save his queen

that he invited the most powerful mage in our empire to treat her. If that does not reassure you about her

condition | don’t know what will." She leaned back and crossed her right leg over the left one. Looking at the

curiously, she asked, "Don’t you trust Roland? Do you think he would not send word if foul play was involved in

this matter?

As yourselves. Would Roland really sit by and allow Elarin to step over his own mother in order to act as the

queen if she had harmed the true queen?"

The De-Kensington’s traded gazes and frowns. Sigrid had made sfine points. What made them think twice

was the fact that Roland was the queen's son. At the end of the day, he needed the De-Kensington’s on his side.

If foul play was involved and someone harmed his mother, he would not let it go.

"Roland is Roland, | am not him." Lady Florentine said in response.

Sigrid uncrossed her legs and stood up. She looked at the brothers first and then their mother. She had her fan in

her right hand and she tapped it against her left hand slowly. It seemed the old woman was going to be stubborn

about it. The fact that she brought up her age and death meant she would take this matter as far as she could

until she got her away.

While they could keep a lid on the matter of the queen for a while, if the De-Kensington’s made too much noise,

people would ask questions. Other nobles would join them in making noise until sproof was seen that the

queen was seen in person.

"Mmmmm..." Sigrid sighed.

Next to her, Mauve had a feeling hat something was going to happen and whatever it was, it would not be good

for the De-Kensington’s.

"Are you sure that you want to see your daughter at all costs Lady Florentine?" Sigrid asked.

Lady Florentine’s wrinkled face remained still as she nodded.

"Her illness is deadly and contagious, even the doctors have to cover up from head to toe when they see her. |

would like to remind you that you are old and prone to illness. Are you sure that you would like to be in the same

room as your daughter? If you go in, coming out is impossible." Sigrid said.

Lady Florentine responded with silence, but she blinked twice.

"For the last time, Lady Florentine are you sure that you want to do this?"

Lady Florentine looked at Sigrid with scorn, she was wondering how foolish the crown princess was. Why was she

repeating the squestion over and over?

"Very well then." Sigrid put her hands behind her back and she smiled. "You have convincedLady Florentine.

You are truly a wonderful mother. Others would stay away when their children contract illness that are

considered plagues but not you. The queen will be glad to see you. She will have permanent company in her

isolation until a cure for her illness someday."

"Wait..what?" Lady Florentine asked.

Sigrid gestured at Brolin and walked forward and he lifted Lady Florentine.

"Putdown you reckless knight." She complained.

Her sons moved forward to assist her, shouting or rather commanding that their mother be put down but they

were ignored. Other knights pushed them back, Cosmos even brandished his big sword. The tip poked Lord

Badric on the side of his neck and he squealed.

Lady Florentine was handed to another knight that was one of them.

"The Lady wants to live out her days with her daughter the queen, see to it." He told the knight.

The knight was on a flying horse. He

nodded and it took off as lightning

"I demand that you return our mother to us." Kane jutted a finger at her and snatched it back quickly when

Brolin’s sword nearly took if off.

They raised their voice, each shouting over the other so loudly that it almost becimpossible to hear their

demands.

Sigrid feigned ignorance, blinking as
